The Benefits of a Generator

Blustery winds, heavy rain, and fragile tree limbs swaying only mean one
thing: there’s inclement weather on the rise — and a strong
possibility that your home may lose power. Of course, there is the potential
of gaining your electricity back within minutes — but it’s
always best to have a backup plan, such as a generator. Not sure why your
home should have one? Let us explain:

Ensures Power

When you’re stuck inside your home, due to dangerous weather conditions,
the last thing you’d like to have is no power at all. Sure, this
is completely out of your control (since you aren’t licensed to
climb your powerlines and fix the problem) — and it then turns into
a “waiting game” of when you’ll get your electricity back.

Before lighting your fireplace and every candle in sight, there is a surefire
way to bring your power back — and that’s with the help of
a generator. Nine out of ten times, most homeowners overlook this essential
investment, which then leads them to use matches (nothing wrong with that,
of course). However, a generator will bring your home back to “life”
within minutes.

Convenient to Use

Unlike a traditional gas generator, a Generac generator from Blanton's Air, Plumbing, & Electric
will be the most convenient generator to use. When a Generac is installed
at your home, this standby generator will run solely on natural gas or
liquid propane — which means that you’ll never have to stock
up on gasoline to keep it running.

Additionally, a standby Generac generator turns on the minute your home
loses electricity — and then quickly shuts off and re-enters standby
mode when your utility power is restored. This is the perfect way to not
only have power when you need it the most, but it’s also a great
way to have an efficient generator at your home — without using
an excessive amount of unnecessary energy.

Keeps your Home Running

Certainly, when you have a generator, its sole purpose is to ensure that
you have electricity when your home is in the dark. However, when you
have a Generac generator installed by Blanton's Air, Plumbing, & Electric, this powerful
machine will keep your home running — without any issues.

Sometimes, homeowners will opt to use a gas generator — which they’ll
have to trek outside, in dangerous conditions, to attempt to power their
entire home in a matter of minutes. As mentioned earlier, our Generac
generators are the perfect solution to keep your home running, which include
important features such as your refrigerator, stove (if it’s electric),
keeping your cellphones charged, and so much more.

Provides Peace of Mind

One of the best feelings any homeowner could hope for is peace of mind.
Certainly, that can range from having a new cooling system installed to
a toilet being replaced. However, one of the best forms of this calming
reassuring feeling? You guessed it: having a Generac generator installed.

Of course, some homeowners do fear that this unit will take up a large
piece of “real estate” on their property — but that
couldn’t be further from the truth. When you have a standby home
generator installed, the unit will take up no more room than the hub of
your cooling unit. Additionally, a Generac generator from Blanton's Air, Plumbing, & Electric
will be placed alongside your home, perfectly positioned, so that it won’t
be an “eyesore” to you and your neighbors.

Wards Away Danger

When you tend to leave your home at night, to run errands, you’ll
typically leave the lights on in your living room — or any window
that’s facing the streets. This, of course, will give the appearance
that your home is occupied and will ward away any trespassers from attempting
to break in.

Although a generator is typically thought of as the unit for inclement
weather discrepancies, a Generac generator pulls through at all times
when your home loses power. Not only will this unit keep the lights on
— but it will do it without missing a beat. The power in your neighborhood
could be out, but with this generator, your home won’t lose power
for one minute — which will keep your home and family out of harm’s way.
